Submitting an application to the Huurcommissie
You can start proceedings before the Huurcommissie (in Dutch) by submitting an application form. There is a separate application form (in Dutch) for the different types of proceedings.
A decision by the Huurcommissie is binding. This means that you and your landlord must both comply with the decision.
